Due to maintenance work, part of the flyover – a causeway – was closed, which increased traffic congestion on the bridge and the roads leading to it.

The minister instructed officials that information on alternative routes be disseminated among commuters to avoid inconvenience.
She also discussed the issue of restricting the movement of heavy vehicles on the flyover of the newly constructed Ashram-DND extension, according to the statement.

“Minister PWD has directed officials to relocate these high voltage wires during the month of March itself so that heavy vehicles can pass here as soon as possible,” the statement said.
